Scunthorpe stretched their unbeaten league run to six games with a comprehensive 3-1 win over Shrewsbury On This Day in 2004.
The visitors faced an uphill battle when David Walton was sent off for a professional foul on Steve Torpey after just half an hour.
Peter Beagrie converted the resulting penalty before Jamie Colley equalised.
Two minutes later Scunthorpe were ahead again through Paul Hayes' superb strike and substitute Cleveland Taylor's run and shot put the result beyond doubt.
